Favorite Teacher Hi! My name is Ameha Tsegai. My favorite teacher is Mrs.Magnusen. She is my favorite teacher because she has done a lot for me. She always makes teaching fun and easy. The students in her class learn faster because the way she teaches. I learn fast too because I am also in her class. She is a special teacher, and she is very nice and kind. She is a good teacher because she always makes sure everybody learned the lesson. If one student does not understand the lesson, she carefully teaches them until they understand it before moving on. She does that because she is trying to make sure every body in our class passes the CRCT. She is a really awesome teacher. She is my math and science teacher. I love those two subjects for two reasons. The first reason I like those two subjects is because their real interesting and fun; the second reason is because she teaches it! Another reason Mrs.Magnusen is my favorite teacher is because she knows my family and culture really well. She has also tried the cultural food that the people in the country that my parents were born make. Anyway, she is a one of a kind teacher. She is because she actually cares about if the students completely understand the lesson. Some teachers just teach the lesson and let the book teach them. Mrs.Magnusen goes beyond that point and does most of it on the board, while she’s explaining it. Mrs.Magnusen likes giving extra help to students. When a lot of students need extra help she goes on the computer, finds something that explains our lesson, and pulls it up on the promethean board. That actually helps the students in our class because it explains the lesson step-by-step. The students can take notes on what the board is saying and study it for the next test. That way more students could pass the tests. Mrs.Magnusen also makes the class laugh. That is another good reason for her to be your favorite teacher. Sometimes in the classroom she makes jokes while no one expects...

A FavoriteTeacher or Professor
Throughout my academic career, I have come across many teachers and lecturers who guided me in various subjects of my study. I could learn different things about professional and social life from them. Among all teachers, Mr. Kamran Karimlou is my favorite professor. He teaches us System Engineering in my Master’s program at CSULA which is my part of study. There are many qualities which stand out and make him the best among others. I liked him for the most important reason is that I have never got bored in his lecture. I like the way he represents himself in class and teaches. He is a little bit rigid but he has an excellent sense of humor.
Systems Engineering comes alive in Karimlou's class. Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering focusing on how complex engineering projects should be designed and managed over their life cycles. He designs his course structure very strategically and well-planned so that we could learn things in easy steps and steadily. Moreover those course structures are very important for practical application in real industrial work. He is always organized with his subject material, topics to discuss and questions regarding them. When he teaches, no one talks about anything but the topic that he discusses. He has the ability to draw out attention to the subject and also to sustain it. He does...

...possible. Teachers being given the luxury of tenure are hurting student performance and the performance of America. Tenure is not only allowing teachers to keep their jobs secure based off experience rather than performance, but also it is this job protection that makes the removal of poorly performing teachers so difficult and costly. In a result, most schools end up retaining their bad teachers. Teachers having tenure is a very controversial issue in today’s society. There are many pros and cons to this subject, but it is crucial that we have the strongest faculty we can in order to have a bright and prosperous future for this country.
Teacher’s tenure is a form of job protection that public school teachers receive after 1-7 years on the job. It was created in the early 1920s in order to protect teachers from losing their jobs to younger less expensive teachers. According to Time U.S. magazine, “Roughly 2.3 million public school teachers in the U.S. have tenure”(Stephey). With all the budget cuts that have happened, many talented, energetic and young teachers are being fired in order for other teachers to keep their job. Teacher’s job security should be based on performance in the classroom rather than years a teacher’s been teaching.
Teacher’s tenure is one of the most controversial issues in education...

...public education issues today have to do with teacher certification in specific content area and, the increase in students reading at the below basic level. Educators must have the knowledge of a content area to help nurture students understanding in a curriculum. Each educator must also be knowledgeable of a rigorous curriculum where students are exposed to a variety of learning experiences. Students who are exposed to this array of learning experiences will develop basic learning skills in math, reading, writing, and a wealth of knowledge in colleges and career ready programs.
One of the possible causes of the issue is the utilization of non-certified teachers and fresh college graduate. Returning college graduates teaching a different content area other than their own major content area of studies will experience challenges in the classroom. Most without a teaching degree are facing challenges such as developing lesson plans, classroom management skills, and incompetency in content knowledge to name a few. The surfacing challenges cause these teachers to depend on traditional methods of teaching.
Furthermore, existing teaching programs in our territory need to develop content area emphasis for cohort to help teachers focus and be certified. This will provide the prospective teacher with a road map toward content area certification. The American Samoa School...

...“CAN you still remember your Grade I teacher?” This was once the by-line of an advertisement of one financial institution. This is also the base concept of the play “Ang Guro” staged by Stairs Production and Imagination Beyond Events Philippines at West Negros University Gym last Saturday, January 21.
The musical play was written by occupational therapist Paul Ballano. This is his form of loving tribute to his Grade I school teacher, Mrs. Cecilia Resontoc, who was instrumental in making him pursue, work and reach his goals, despite all odds. As Paul fondly recalled after the curtain call, Mrs. Resontoc made him believe in what he can do, what he can achieve, and what he can become.
The soft–spoken yet talented singer Karel Marquez performed the lead role perfectly. Comely, gentle yet versatile, Karel took in the part of Ms. Amelia Resontoc, a young high school teacher who has the knack of understanding and motivating her students. With her strong convictions, she encouraged her students to keep on going by singing “The Climb”, as she accepted each of their individual differences in “True Colors.”
Izzy Trazona, one of the Sex Bomb Dancers, showed off her acting and dancing prowess as one of the talented yet late bloomer students of Ms. Resontoc. Sheila Asuncion, who plays the mother of Karel, not only played her role well but also belted out one powerful, heart–rending rendition of “The Prayer” together with the lead...

...subjects are psychology, theory and practice, history and philosophy, sociology and many others. All the mentioned subjects above are very important to a teacher for effective teaching and learning in the teaching fraternity. For a teacher to teach effectively there is a need for that teacher to have studied the important subjects mentioned above. However this academic paper is meant to discuss the importance of sociology to a teacher in the teaching professional.
Sociology is a subject which was coined by a French sociologist called Augustint Comte in 1837.The very term sociology is made up of two words and these words are socio and logy. Socio is a Latin word which means society while the term logy is a Greek word which means science. Therefore the term sociology according to Collins (2004:854) “is the study of society and how it is organized”. Sociology is a social science which studies the social relationships between people as individuals and as groups in the society. In other words sociology is the scientific study of behavior in groups having the purpose of discovering regularities and order.
Sociology is important to the teacher Holt (1995:7), “because it contributes to the knowledge and understanding of various differences in human interaction which could be used in decision making.” It is sociology which enables the teacher to develop un understanding of individual differences...
